Light and Photosynthesis in Seagrass Meadows

2006
The distribution of radiant energy in plant canopies determines one of the fundamental interactions of biophysical ecology—that of energy exchange between photosynthetic organisms and their environment. Accurate knowledge of light absorption by plant canopies permits the calculation of important plantand ecosystem-level properties, including rates of ...

Retention of microplastics in Halophila decipiens seagrass meadows

Marine Environmental Research
Microplastic (MP) trapping and storage by seagrasses and sediments highlight their role as potential long-term reservoirs for plastic particles. This study evaluated the presence of MPs in Halophila decipiens meadows and its associated sediments in two localities, Pichilingue and Los Aripes, in the southwest Gulf of California.

Baseline and Monitoring Methods for Seagrass Meadows

Journal of Environmental Management, 1996
Seagrass meadows are one of the most vulnerable habitats of coastal or estuarine waters in Australia. Their continued existence near centres of human population is in peril, but all levels of government are now under pressure to protect these valuable habitats. The first step is to measure the health and abundance of the seagrasses. To help managers to

A century of change in seagrass meadows of Liguria

2016
Historical qualitative information and historical and recent cartographic quantitative information were combined to assess changes in extent and composition of seagrass meadows of Liguria since the beginning of the XX century. Posidonia oceanica lost a total of near 2700 ha, corresponding to 38% of the estimated original extent, while Cymodocea nodosa ...
